Rob, I had this great idea awhile back to record all of my 100+ vinyl albums via Linux to MP3's and then put them on CD's for archival. Sounds great until you try it... The problem is that when you start the recording of each track you need to tell the software how much time to record for. This is *very* tedious and error prone. There needs to be an app writen to automate this. But I don't have time. Here are the commands that I used to do one album, note that this will recored for 9:15 (that's 9 minutes and 15 seconds).
Hope this helps.
